I was thinking more along the lines of meth and crack. Although, lack of good dental care dosn't help. Doubt if drs without boarders would risk it.

Attracting young dentists to most any rural area in the country has been a challenge for probably 20-25 years (way to many new grads think there can't be a good, quality environment to live in if it's not a nice urban or suburban area) and that thought process, which IMHO has a decent component contributable to the demographic and geographic pool where most dental schools are acceptng students from, isn't likely changing anytime soon.

Heck, in the portion of NE CT where I live and practice (by no means an urban or suburban area) over the last 15 years, the only 3 new dentists to come into the area were children of existing dentists in the area joining up with their parent's practice. And even within my own practiice, my partner and I have had 5 or 6 of our patients, who went to dental school, and upon graduation went that urban/suburban route, even though they still have family ties to the area.

The notion in many younger folks seem to be that there can't be a good quality of life in small(er) towns across the country, and that's going to be a tough thing to change, even as more and more dentists in these smaller areas, near/reach retirement age over the next decade especially
Well, sounds like you can "retire" to Barre VT, ski Stowe or Sugarbush all day, and then open up shop like 5-8pm 😆

Based on some of your post, I can understand you thinking of meth and crack 😁😁

I see it a lot. Back in the day at U.N.H. was a far different story. Butt, we were rich; they told us we would drink cheap beer at the U. Nope, all of the guys on scholarships especially football always had coke. When Sigma Beta was raided by the powers that be they found 21 illegal drugs. If you include Toad I can get to 5.

1) BEER
2) X
3) Y
4) BEER
5) TOAD

Hey, it keeps the women thin. There's always a silver lining. MEOW

I want another mansion in the Killington Valley. Something with room for a Mr. Bear.

I liked this one. 224 Turnpike RD Suncook, NH. The problem is they converted the shuffleboard courts to tennis. And the red slate roof isn't perfect. But, all of the vaults are still in tack. Long and short of it, they rent out our old office building. Never rent to the horrible horrilbes.


The one in York Maine (I don't own it). The Angela Maria is better. Painted it all over and over. Kept her upright and stole a goat from the ....

The family who has it (since the 50's) invests in Ford and maybe others.

They own their own planes. Butt, I can only fly them in the air.

file under life sucks when you can't go where you want. Humpty HELP!

Sunny every day...ill take it..

A little TOO sunny this summer.

Even on the Wasatch Back it's been like > 90 degrees for weeks now, with many 94 - 99 days. Luckily, I can be at > 9,000 feet in about 15 minutes, which we've definitely taken advantage of several times just to get a break & live life in the 70s or 80s some afternoons.

Another plug for UA. Just got maybe the best fare ever for a round trip to FLA. In all my years flying down there I don't think I've ever seen it this low (<130).
I remember flying R/T BOS to Orlando for $28 during the pandemic, and many times well under $100. A quick search today came up with $97 R/T. For some reason it's usually a really cheap route. This is not United, as I think they would require a stop.

Yep. Welcome to Utah. This has been a bad summer. Now it’s smoky.

You transplanted Utah folks ready for 10 years of more hype, likely more people both moving in and vacationing there, and likely who knows how much behind the scenes shenanigans with local authorities now that SLC is offically the host city for the 2034 Winter Olympic games? ;)

You folks in SL will not be so smug when the Great Salt Lake dries up and the wind blows all the heavy metals.

Statistically abnormal. I WFH luckily, but a few weeks back I had to go into the office in SLC and my car registered 106 when I was leaving.
I spend the off season in Wash DC area. July was wicked hot down here. Several 100+ degree days with bad humidity.

I don't know, but Utah seems to be one of those places that may get MORE precipitation from climate change and still remain cool enough for great snow conditions. Lately that's the way it's been going. But who knows?
